Blizzard Protection Systems Products Are Being Extensively Used World-Wide:
Use Blizzard Survival Blanket First' Says Trauma Guide
US Army medics are now trained to wrap casualties in Blizzard Survival Blankets as their first response to preventing hypothermia in trauma cases - even in hot weather.
PHTLS says medics' initial response to trauma cases should be: "After any immediate life-threatening issues are addressed, wet clothes should be replaced with dry clothes, if possible, and the casualty should be wrapped in a Blizzard Survival Blanket.
Hypothermia in trauma cases occurs regardless of ambient temperature, PHTLS says, and prevention is far easier than correcting it: so stopping heat loss should begin as soon as possible after wounding.
The guide places the Blizzard Survival Blanket first in a hierarchical equipment list for prevention and treatment of hypothermia'.
Blizzard products represents a step change in the way both civilian and military trauma cases should be treated.
Pilots Bank On Blizzard For Personal Survival
British Army pilots of the AH-64 Apache helicopter carry Blizzard Survival Bags in their personal survival packs (PSPs) when they go into service in Afghanistan.
Our bags are also being recommended as standard equipment for the new Eurofighter Typhoon and Joint Combat Aircraft (JCA).
The Blizzard Survival Bag's small pack size makes it ideal for personal survival kits on new generations of aircraft.
The Blizzard Survival Bag is the only product in the world to provide effective protection against the elements for downed and injured aircrew, while being small enough to pack into the cockpits of new generations of aircraft.
The Blizzard Survival Bag has been chosen for the Apache because, unlike air force pilots, British Army pilots have to carry combat equipment with them in the cockpit. This leaves less room for personal survival packs.
The Blizzard Survival Bag is the only product available which fits the packs and enables crew, who may be shocked, injured and ejecting into poor weather conditions, to survive for up to 72 hours.

One step closer to Brahma Gyaan
One step closer to Brahma gyan:::: A 'devotee' goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to the Temple . 'I've gone for 30 years now, he wrote, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 mantras. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Gurus are wasting theirs by giving services at all. This started a real controversy in the 'Letters to the Editor' column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to the Temple for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today! When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment! ------------------------------ So easy to beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. So many amongst us live in the past rather than loving the present and building a brilliant future. Some people stay stuck for years over something they did or a failure they've experienced. Sad. A life is a terrible thing to waste. But let me ask you a question: "is there really such a thing as a mistake?" First of all, no one tries to fail or mess things up. Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have. But even more importantly, every so-called "mistake' is actually a rich source of learning. An opportunity to build more awareness and understanding and gain precious experience. Experience that will help us do, feel and be even better. So, just maybe, there are no mistakes. Just maybe what we could call failures are actually growth lessons in wolf's clothing. And just maybe the person who experiences the most wins. ---------------------- A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to Leave the examination room and said, 'Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.' Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.' 'You don't know? You, a Christian man, Do not know what is on the other side?' The doctor was holding the handle of the door; On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, But I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough.' ------------------------------- A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised. That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble. Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship, friendship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully ---------------------- The tragedy of life is not death,but what we let die inside us while we live.When u were born,the world rejoiced while u cried,-live ur life in such a way that when you die,-the world cries while u rejoice.. -------------------------------- Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days, so you craft your life. What you do today is actually creating your future. The words you speak, the thoughts you think, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny – shaping who you are becoming and what your life will stand for. There's no such thing as an unimportant day. Each of us is called to greatness. Each of us has an exquisite power within us. But for this power to grow, we need to use it. The more you exercise it each day, the stronger it gets. The more this power gets tapped, the more confident you grow. The best among us are not more gifted than the rest. They just take small steps each day as they march towards their biggest life. And the days slip into weeks, the weeks into months and before they know it, they arrive at a place called Extraordinary. ----------------------------- If you can not respect , love , care about ,stand by or be honest with your own parents ,-who gave birth to you and were the very first people who fell in love with you -- then whether you accept this or not but you do not love anyone else in this world either with all your heart and soul ....and time will show that none of your children will stand by you either- when you will need them the most.. ----------------------------------- If you sit with a person who is smoking, even without ur knowledge- You will end up inhaling second hand smoke.In the same way, if you be in the company of saints who constantly preach about the importance of doing good karma-, automatically even without ur knowledge- u will end up doing a lot of positive and humble deeds. If you be in the company of a person who keeps saying bad words and abusing others then then obviously whether u like it or not -- u will end up being the same kind of person sooner or later. And if u constantly listen to Gods name, his praises, his bhajans-even without you being aware of it - the words that will come out of your mouth will be nothing but the nectar of love and bliss. So be in the company of God and even without your knowledge-You will find him seated in your heart - talking to you and finding solutions to ur problems and worries.You just need to take one step towards Him and He will take 100 steps towards you.. By Deepa H inspired by Sai -------------------------------------------- Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day Will be their last, or your own. Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones Because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings Peace... ......................................................................................With lots of good wishes and regards to all from Deepa H and family [ firstname.lastname@example.com ] ...............May Sai always give us peace of mind and May he always make us feel His presence where ever we go.... Saibhakt, Deepa H [You can always contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com ]

Without question, more and better peanut varieties are being developed for U.S. producers. But uncertainties remain over seed availability and how quickly the cultivars will be adapted to the farm.
"I was raised on a little peanut farm in Dale County, Ala.," says Kris Balkcom, Auburn University Extension peanut agronomist. "I've been growing peanuts all of my life, and I've never known of a time when we've had this many varieties from which to choose, and that's a good thing."
But it still may take time — due to inadequate seed supplies and the tendency of some growers to stick with what's tried and true — for some of these improved varieties to be grown on a wide scale.
"There are enough of these new varieties out there that we can select some with more disease and virus resistance than Georgia Green," says AU Extension Entomologist Ron Weeks. "Right now, seed producers are holding the bag for us. We were told in December by the seed industry that 60 percent of this year's crop still will be planted in Georgia Green. We would have hoped that we would have been moving to some of these newer varieties two or three years ago. But it will be awhile before we see adequate seed of some of the new ones."
New releases from this past year from the University of Florida, says Balkcom, include Florida-07, McCloud and York.
"Florida-07 is a longer season peanut, about 140 to 145 days, with excellent yields and good virus resistance. But you won't see a lot of seed for that variety this year. McCloud is a mid-season peanut, about 135 days. It doesn't have as much virus resistance as 07, but it's another tool we can use. York is a long-season peanut, about 155 days. It is small, like Georgia Green, with good grades and high yields," he says.
Georgia-06G and Georgia Greener are two new high-yielding, tomato spotted wilt virus-resistant, high-yielding, runner-type peanut varieties that were released in 2006 by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations, says Bill Branch, University of Georgia peanut breeder.
Georgia-06G is a larger-seeded runner-type variety, whereas Georgia Greener is more of a regular-seeded runner-type variety, says Branch.
"Both varieties have an intermediate decumbent runner growth habit, tan seed coat and medium maturity similar to Georgia Green. Georgia-06G and Georgia Greener have darker green foliage color," he says.
In several multi-location tests conducted in Georgia during the past four years (2003-06), Georgia-06G and Georgia Greener were found to be among the lowest in mid-season tomato spotted wilt virus incidence and late-season total disease incidence while being the highest in pod yield, TSMK grand and dollar value return per acre compared to other runner-types tested each year.
Limited seed supplies will be available for Georgia-06G and Georgia Greener in the 2008 planting season, says Branch. "Interested growers should consider an early seed request for this upcoming growing season," he adds.
Peanut varieties for the 2008 production season include the following:
Runner Types
Andru II
Andru II is an early maturity variety, but not as early as Andru 93 or ViruGard. It has high-oleic oil chemistry, excellent resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and good white mold resistance. Anderson's Peanut Company is the major supplier of Andru II seed.
This is a medium-maturity variety released by the University of Florida that has been licensed to Anderson Peanuts. It is a sister line to Carver. AP-3 has excellent resistance to TSWV and white mold, the highest available in a medium-maturity variety. Yields and grades were very good at Marianna and Gainesville.
This release from AgraTech/Golden Peanut Company has a typical runner growth habit and good early season emergence and vigor. It has a maturity range similar to Georgia Green with a seed size similar to Georgia-02C.
This release from AgraTech/Golden Peanut Company has a typical runner growth habit, good early season emergence and vigor. It has high-oleic fatty acid composition, which improves oil stability and shelf life. The maturity is the same as Georgia Green and seed size is medium to large. It has good resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus.
This is a medium maturity variety with good resistance to TSWV and white mold. It has some resistance to CBR and rhizoctonia limb rot. Carver has good yield potential. A good leafspot spray is needed for this variety.
This has been one of the higher-yielding entries in tests at multiple locations and usually ranks as one of the best in resistance to TSWV. C-99R has resistance to leafspot, white mold, rust and has a small amount of resistance to CBR. It is a late-maturing variety with large seed and calcium needs that are similar to a Virginia type.
Ga 01R
Ga 01R was released by the University of Georgia in 2001 and has shown resistance to TSWV, leafspot and CBR. It is similar to C-99R in seed size and maturity. It also has a spreading runner growth habit.
Ga 02C
This high-oleic runner-type peanut was released in 2002 by the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. It has high-oleic and low-linoleic fatty acid content for improved oil quality. It has good resistance to both TSWV and cylindrocladium black rot (CBR).
Ga 03L
This variety has a maturity range similar to Georgia Green. It has significantly larger pods and seed than Georgia Green. It has one of the highest levels of resistance to TSWV of all the runner-type varieties, but it lacks resistance to other diseases.
Georgia Green
Due to high yields, good grades and resistance to TSWV and white mold, Georgia Green has become a very popular variety. Georgia Green has a small amount of resistance to late leafspot and CBR, but it does not take as long to mature as did Southern Runner, one of its parents.
Tifrunner is a late-maturing cultivar developed and released by USDA-ARS scientists in Tifton, Ga. It has a medium seed size (larger than Georgia Green) and is not high oleic. Tifrunner has excellent resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus and leafspot but is more susceptible to white mold than other runner-type cultivars. Seed supply of Tifrunner will be very limited in 2007.
This variety matures 14 to 21 days earlier than other commonly grown varieties such as Georgia Green. It is a cross between NC-7 and Florunner, and it has a spreading bunch growth habit. ViruGard has good TSWV tolerance/resistance.
New runner varieties with limited seed availability in 2008 include Georgia-06G, Florida-07, York and McCloud. Georgia-06G, Florida-07 and McCloud have a maturity range similar to Georgia Green while York is late maturing, similar to Georgia-02C and C-99R.
Virginia Types
Gregory is a high-yielding variety that produces high percentages of jumbo pods and extra-large kernels with good TSWV resistance. Of the Virginia types, Gregory has been among the most resistant to TSWV.
This variety has larger seed than many others that are commercially available. It has an intermediate growth habit and normally matures in 150 to 155 days in Virginia. NC 7 is not as resistant to TSWV as Gregory.
This variety matures three to five days earlier than NC 7. It has a runner-type growth habit. It is somewhat resistant to CBR but is highly susceptible to sclerotinia blight and leafspot.
Except for CBR resistance and slightly earlier maturity, NC 12C is similar to NC 7. Under close plant spacing or conditions of high water availability, NC 12C produces excessive vine growth.
This 1989 joint release from North Carolina and Virginia is an early maturing variety that produces good yields. In Florida tests, the grade has tended to be lower than with other Virginia varieties. This variety has some resistance to TSWV and white mold under low pressure.
This variety is susceptible to all major diseases in the region. It has a runner growth habit and matures about five days earlier than NC 7.
This variety has good resistance to CBR, sclerotinia blight and web blotch. Perry tends to be highly susceptible to TSWV. It has a spreading runner growth habit.
Wilson matures five to seven days earlier than NC-7 and has excellent qualities for in-shell markets. It is moderately susceptible to TSWV, leafspot and other diseases in the Virginia-Carolina region.
Spanish Types
Ga 04S
This high-yielding, high-oleic variety is intended for the same confectionary markets as other Spanish types. It has much better resistance to TSWV than other Spanish varieties. Seed supply will be limited for 2006.
Starr has an upright growth habit with plants typically producing flowers on the main stem. The maturity is similar to other Spanish cultivars. It has no resistance to common peanut diseases and insects.
Tamnut 74
This variety has plant characteristics very similar to Starr.
Tamspan 90
This variety is typical of Spanish-type peanut cultivars in vegetative growth, rate of growth, and mainstem height. It has some resistance to pythium pod rot and scletorinia blight compared to Florunner and Starr.
Pronto is a cross between two Spanish lines, Chico and Comet. Its plants exhibit more yellow-green color than other Spanish cultivars. Pronto matures three to four weeks earlier than Florunner and has yields and grades similar to Spanco.
Spanco is a sister line to Pronto but has greener foliage color when mature. It is similar to Pronto in yield and grade.
Valencia Types
Georgia Red
This is a Valencia-red cultivar that has outyielded and graded better than all other Valencia cultivars in Georgia. It is an excellent choice for the fresh-market boiling trade and home garden use.
Georgia Valencia
The variety has a larger seed size compared to other Valencia varieties. It is an excellent choice for the fresh market boiling trade in the Southeast.

GOMA, Congo — The image of two teenage boys playing serenely is a picture of peace uncommon in eastern Congo — and deceptive. Because it masks some of the worst horrors of a vicious ethnic war for land and resources — a war often fought with children.
Just nine months ago, Gabriel and Pascal were playing cat and mouse in the jungles of central Africa – enemies trying to kill each other. But they discovered they were two helpless pawns in a decade-old conflict, and became kindred spirits after separate, hellish journeys.
Two years ago Gabriel Gakara was a regular 14 year-old living in a small village on the edge of a war zone. He played with his brothers and sisters and dreamed of becoming a mechanic. But his life took a dangerous turn toward the edge of despair one day as he sat in a place he thought was safe – his village school.
Ann Curry: What happened?
Gabriel: We were studying when soldiers came into the school and took us from our classroom.
The soldiers took Gabriel and seven of his classmates – some 20 children in all from the area that day – and turned them into new recruits for a notorious rebel commander. Gabriel's first duty was as a gofer for the camp cook.
Gabriel: I had to sleep outside and carry heavy loads.
He says he was ordered to steal food and supplies from nearby villages, and transport ammunition and weapons — under a brutal daily regime. If he dared to play with other child soldiers or tried to leave his unit he risked severe punishment. Children were often beaten, he says, sometimes with a hundred lashes. And he had no way of contacting his family, unaware they were even alive, or if his siblings had also been taken in by armed groups. Video: Covering the war in Eastern Congo
After just three weeks, Gabriel trained to use an automatic rifle and was dispatched to the front lines of combat.
Curry: You are still just a child but you were even younger then. How frightened were you?
Gabriel: When you see someone killed right beside you, you think, "I will also die like this." That made me really afraid.
He says at times the fighting was so chaotic, children switched sides in the heat of battle. While the military code they all observed was the law of the jungle: kill or be killed.
Gabriel: When you shoot someone in front of you and they die, you feel very afraid and you think: "If I was not a soldier I would not have to kill this person."
Curry: how many people do you think you might have killed?
Gabriel: Any time I saw enemy soldiers I had to shoot them. I do not know the number of people I have killed.
But those he did kill came back to haunt him.
Gabriel: I would dream about those who were killed and sometimes I would get up in the middle of the night and wonder what was happening to my life.
He says some of his friends were ordered to kill civilians. As hard as it was to carry out those orders, refusing was worse.
Gabriel: If the commander tells you to kill and you don't obey, they kill you because you are not respecting them.
Gabriel says there were about 1000 other child soldiers in his armed group. He remembers being forced to march 40 miles... And when some of the children couldn't keep up, they were shot.
Curry: Did you see children who were soldiers with you shot by the commanders?
Gabriel: When the enemy attacked us and our commanders saw they were stronger than us, we would run away. if our commanders saw the children weren't running away fast enough and that the enemy might capture them, then they usually killed those children so that they would not give up information useful to the enemy.
Gabriel says he lost three close friends in battle. But one day last October, the fog of war gave him a lucky break.
Gabriel: When we attacked the government positions, the UN intervened with helicopter gunships and tanks. They scattered our forces. So I was able to escape. Video: Warlord or liberator?
Curry: What did it mean to you to finally escape?
Gabriel: For me it was like a deliverance. I escaped into the bush, went to the U.N. soldiers and handed over my weapon to them.
Gabriel was one of 30,000 children that fought for a while before being released from his army. In some areas, more than 50 percent of the children are re-taken into armed groups. Many cannot join their families, displaced by the war and others are forced to fend for themselves in hostile areas.
After nearly a year and a half on the front lines, Gabriel got lucky. He was taken to a center sponsored by the U.N., where he is cared for. He joined some 200 other boys from all sides of Congo's war - a war that has claimed more than 5 million lives.
He says at first he was afraid other boys in the center might try to kill him in the night. And then, he came face to face with one of his enemies.
Pascal: It is possible I killed Gabriel's friends.
When Gabriel escaped from the rebel army in eastern Congo which had turned him into a killer, he was brought to a special center which helps child soldiers become children again. Here he was treated for post-traumatic stress, taught to set aside any loyalty to his former unit, and mixed with boys from enemy factions.
But he had no way of knowing he was about to meet a boy who had been trying to kill him. Like Gabriel – who'd been snatched from his classroom – Pascal Kahombo was a village boy who lived with his family in poverty.
Pascal: My parents gave me everything they could. I loved to study, but they couldn't pay for me to go to school.
So at age thirteen, he says, he volunteered to join a local unit of the government's army on the promise he'd get 25 dollars a month.
Curry: Is that why you did it? Because you wanted the money?
Pascal: I wasn't really interested in the money. My family didn't have the means to send me to school so when I saw soldiers passing by, I thought, OK, maybe I can make something of myself as a soldier.
But he would never see any pay and immediately regretted his decision to sign up.
Pascal: When I enlisted, they ordered me to go on patrols, or guard different positions. Then they forced me to fight.
Curry: So you didn't have a choice? Video: Covering the war in Eastern Congo
Pascal: If you refused, you would be beaten, then put in jail.
Curry: But you must have feared being on the front lines?
Pascal: I was very afraid. Sometimes five of my unit could be killed, sometimes we all made it through. Whatever happens, I never want to be a soldier again. When I was fighting I killed soldiers. Not civilians but soldiers, our enemies. And when I think about the people I have killed, I usually ask myself, what will happen to me?
Curry: Do you know how many might have died because you fired, because you had no choice?
Pascal: I cannot remember.
Cannot remember because Pascal was in so many battles. He was on the front lines for four years, four years away from his family, his childhood lost to the war. friends lost in battle too.
When his army unit finally released him, he was brought to the same center as Gabriel. The boys struck up a friendship after they learned they were from neighboring villages, and bonded over their experiences of war. But as they pieced together their lives as soldiers, they came to a realization almost too hard to comprehend. They had been fighting on opposing sides in the same battles...at the same times, in the same places. They were sure they had been fighting each other...pulled the triggers of their automatic weapons as they faced off.
Pascal: It is possible that I killed Gabriel's friends, and when he was shooting in my direction, that he killed my friends.
But Gabriel and Pascal did not seek revenge for what might have happened in the heat of battle. They know they are lucky to have survived.
Curry: How typical are these two boys?
Pernille: Unfortunately their stories are extremely typical.
Pernille Ironside is a child protection specialist for the U.N. in Congo and helps fund the center where the boys are cared for.
Pernille: More than thirty thousand kids have come out of various militia groups and armed forces since 2004. However, they're still being recruited.
Curry: People come to their houses and take the kids?
Pernille: Absolutely. Then they're put on the front lines and they hardly know even how to hold a weapon after only a few weeks of training. They've lost their childhood, they've been made to suffer such brutality.
Curry: Do you fear some of these children will never be whole again?
Pernille: Whole is very relative in Congolese society. One thing I've learned from my time here is that these people are extremely resilient, despite what they've gone through.
Even Gabriel and Pascal. Video: Warlord or liberator?
Curry: Do you know they're going to be okay or does that remain to be seen?
Pernille: I'm confident that they will be okay.
Gabriel: We used to attack each other but now, we are on the same side in the same camp.
Curry: When you discovered that there were battles where you both were fighting for the other side of the enemy line at these battles, what did you think?
Pascal: I do not think anything bad about Gabriel. Whatever I have I share with him and whatever he has he shares with me. I think of him not only as my friend, but as my brother.
Since Pascal was recently reunited with his family, for now he is separated from his new brother. And while Gabriel remains in the center for child soldiers because it's too dangerous for him to return home, the boys have vowed to be lifelong friends.

Landowners searching for a natural grazing alternative that provides increased wildlife and overall ecosystem benefits, may want to consider implementing native warm-season grasses into their land management plan.
What are native warm season grasses?
Native warm season grasses are annual and perennial grasses that thrived in the South prior to human habitation and the introduction of non-native grasses.
Prevalent historically in the prairie regions and in the understory of fire-maintained forests, these grasses and the native forbs (such as legumes and wildflowers) that occurred with them were well adapted to the region's soils, climate, insects and diseases.
These grasses were originally grazed by bison and elk and later by free-ranging European domestic livestock.
Unfortunately, man's use of the land caused the native grassland ecosystem to change dramatically. Forestry practices allowed over-shading in forest stands and agricultural practices utilized heavy plowing and over-grazing, significantly reducing the prevalence of native warm season grass species.
The introduction of non-native grasses for soil stabilization and livestock forage also altered the native grassland ecosystem.
Still, native warm season grasses are not completely absent from today's landscape. They tend to grow along roadsides, railroad and power line rights-of-way and other less traveled areas.
Some of the most common native warm season grasses that occur include big bluestem, little bluestem, broomsedge, indiangrass, switchgrass and eastern gamagrass.
Why restore native warm-season grasses?
Restoring the once dominant native warm-season grasses to their historic range can help landowners meet multiple objectives for both wildlife and forage production.
Wildlife habitat: The diverse mixture of grasses and forbs provides better food and cover resources for wildlife species than non-native grasses such as bermudagrass and tall fescue. The increased habitat diversity provided by the forbs offers seeds, nectar and green forage and attracts insects that are food sources for other wildlife.
Eastern cottontail, northern bobwhite, grassland songbirds and butterflies are just a few of the species that benefit from the structure and cover of native warm season grass restoration.
Livestock forage: For producers seeking to improve livestock forage, native warm-season grasses provide tall, deep-rooted perennials with excellent drought tolerance and high yields. When compared to their cool-season counterparts, native warm season grasses use water more efficiently and are better adapted to hot, dry summer conditions.
By providing forage during the summer months, warm-season grasses reduce dependence on cool-season grasses and give pastures an opportunity to rest, requiring less reseeding and a reduction in soil erosion.
Studies have shown that cattle demonstrate improved summer weight gains when grazing native warm season grasses compared to bermudagrass or bahiagrass. Also, the higher per-acre yields of these grasses reduce the number of acres needed for hay production, liberating additional acres for grazing.
Ecosystem restoration: A host of plant and wildlife species depend on prairie, oak woodland savannah and pine woodland savannah ecosystems for their success.
Transforming a landscape of non-native grasses to native grasses and forbs and restoring woodland savannahs will enhance the quality of areas through the creation of valuable wildlife habitat and grassland ecosystems.

National Review Writer Doubts the Power of the Bushmaster AR-15
If you, like many red-blooded Americans, plan on joining the gun shopping spree that mass shootings usually inspire, you might find yourself wondering about the Bushmaster AR-15 that Adam Lanza used in Friday's massacre. The fact that he successfully killed 27 women and children with only one target escaping with an injury certainly suggests that the gun does what it was designed to do: kill a whole bunch of people in a short period of time. The manufacturers of the gun certainly would like you to believe that it's just the ticket for fulfilling your power fantasies, as evidenced by this ad found in Maxim by Mother Jones.
But before you rush to give Bushmaster your hard-earned dollars, let me present a second opinion on the gun's manhood-bolstering capabilities from Robert VerBruggen, courtesy of the National Review Online, who argues that Lanza's weapon is too weak to bother banning:
I am doubtful that these reforms would do much to curb gun violence. An "assault weapon" fires at the same rate as an ordinary semiautomatic rifle, and the .223-caliber ammo in Lanza's rifle is banned for deer hunting in some states on the grounds that it's too weak. High-capacity magazines sometimes stop shootings by jamming, and shooters are often (though not always) able to change magazines without incident.
Ah yes, the ammo is too weak. (Never mind that an adult deer weighs around 250 pounds and a child around 40.) Given the strength of Obama's speech at last night's memorial service, we can expect more of these airtight arguments from our nation's finest gun loving commentators. As your brain reels, just keep in mind the Bushmaster motto: "If it's good enough for the professional, it's good enough for you."

ALBANY, N.Y. - The state budget adopted by the Senate includes $2 million for the Catskill Mountain Rail Trail project in Ulster County.
"The growing popularity of rail trails presents a great economic development opportunity," said state Sen. Cecelia Tkaczyk, D-Duanesburg.
"Local rail trails attract hundreds of thousands of visitors who pump millions of dollars into the local economy, help to grow local businesses and create new jobs."
County Executive Michael Hein said the trail will create recreational opportunities as well as boost tourism and economic development and "really have an overall positive effect on our quality of life."
Hein has proposed turning segments of the rail bed in Kingston and surrounding communities, currently used by the Catskill Mountain Railroad, into a rail trail.
Catskill Mountain Railroad operates sightseeing trains on the tracks, for which it has a lease through 2016.
The Catskill Mountain Railroad has said it would consider legal action against the county if the county attempts to take up the tracks without negotiating with the group.
Hein has proposed ripping up some of the railroad tracks west of Phoenicia currently leased by the Catskill Mountain Railroad and included $600,000 in revenue from sale of rails in the county's 2013 budget.
Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, D-Kingston, said the rail trail "will finally have the opportunity to become a reality with this and another past $1 million apportionment."
The project will focus initially on developing the rail trail in Kingston and connecting Kingston neighborhoods to the Ashokan Reservoir about eight miles away.

BIRMINGHAM — Attorneys for Jefferson County filed a 101-page plan Sunday to exit the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history.
BIRMINGHAM — Attorneys for Jefferson County filed a 101-page plan Sunday to exit the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history.
The plan calls for cutting the county's $4.2 billion debt by more than $1.2 billion and raising sewer rates annually by 7.41 percent for four years. Rates would rise by 3.49 percent annually for an undetermined amount of years after that.
Most of the $4.2 billion debt stems from bonds that funded sewer system repairs.
Commissioners have approved agreements with 11 creditors that hold the bulk of the county's sewer debt. The agreement calls for paying the creditors about $1.835 billion instead of $3.078 billion, and county attorney Ken Klee has said JPMorgan will give up about $842 million of its overall $1.2 billion in the county's sewer debt.
Commissioner George Bowman has opposed the plan, which he has said puts too much of a burden on people in his district.
The plan must be approved by Thomas Bennett, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Northern District of Alabama.
Bennett has scheduled a hearing to consider approving a proposed disclosure statement on Aug. 6. The statement essentially provides creditors with information about the county so they'll be able to make an informed vote on whether to approve the exit plan.
County officials are looking to exit the bankruptcy by Dec. 20.

Tips and tricks for making the best sandwiches at home.
I've always had an inexplicable thing for falafel. It's almost akin to random pregnancy cravings, minus the unbalanced hormones and second human being growing inside me. When my taste buds are hankering for those deep-fried balls of mashed chickpeas, I head to Sultan's Market in Wicker Park (there's another location in Lincoln Park, but the original Wicker Park restaurant is better). Located just west of the Damen/Milwaukee/North intersection, this Middle Eastern BYOB is a long-time staple of the neighborhood for good reason—it's as delicious as it is reasonably priced.
For sandwich seekers, look no farther than Sultan's falafel sandwich ($3.75). Two big pieces of falafel are chopped into large chunks and stuffed into a pita dripping with hummus. House-made Jerusalem salad—a mix of tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs and parsley drenched in lemon juice and tahini—is heaped on top. Spicy red pepper sauce is optional, though recommended. Personally, I like to add some extra tomatoes and onion slices. And for just less than four dollars, the taste to cost ratio makes this one of the best bargains in the city.

Another View: A bittersweet farewell from Elliot CEO Doug DeanDOUG DEAN
June 24. 2014 10:49PM
For the past 16 years I have had the privilege to work as the President and CEO of Elliot Health System, one of the largest health care delivery systems in New Hampshire. I'm compelled to write this message as a thank you to the more than 4,000 people with whom I have enjoyed working every day and to a community that has provided me and my family with an environment that will be our lifelong home.
I have routinely observed some extraordinary achievements over my tenure at Elliot and have witnessed the capabilities of superbly trained individuals to restore life for residents in our community suffering, vulnerable and justifiably trusting the capacity of our people to respond.
At times, I attempt to capture the reach of Elliot in numbers, sharing the fact that more than 120,000 people presented last year to our Emergency Room and urgent care centers, or that we admitted 13,000 people last year to Elliot Hospital, or that New Hampshire's Hospital for Children at Elliot serves more children than most academic medical centers in New England.
I could share with you that we are the largest employer in Manchester, with more than 500 physicians, 4,000 employees and an army of more than 500 caring volunteers. None of these numbers captures the essence of greatness of Elliot, which is represented in the level of compassion, mutual respect within our health care team and the overall attitude of a community of people caring for their neighbors. I know Mary Elliot would be very proud that the pure motivations she held in gifting the resources in 1880 to initiate Elliot are alive and well today
People frequently ask me, "Who owns Elliot?" Elliot is actually a tax-exempt entity which by law exists strictly for the purpose of advancing the health of our community. All money generated by Elliot is required by law to be directed toward the mission, and we are very fortunate to maintain the oversight of Elliot by a 22-member board of directors sourced from the five major Protestant congregations of the Protestant faith, six physicians from the active medical staff, the president of the Women's Associates and the balance from the community at large.
This board composition was required in the 1880 will of Mary Elliot and survives to this day. It is this group to which I hold much of my personal gratitude and respect. Over the years, I have witnessed their personal sacrifices of time and their extreme stress to deal with decisions of grave consequence. I will never forget the deliberations and courage exercised by our board to moving forward with building The Elliot at River's Edge in the teeth of the recession, or the courageous and intractable dedication to mental health, trauma and the children's hospital despite the financial pressure to curtail these vital programs. I hold this group in such high esteem for their brave governance driven by the singular motivation of serving others.
I also must mention the community of 26 acute care hospitals whose employees toil everyday to meet the growing and complex needs of our patients with some of the most thoughtful and capable administrative groups. Each one of our hospitals deals with an environment in which the pace of change renders expensive imaging equipment obsolete more quickly than ever before, an atmosphere in which infection control and disease mutation cause consistent escalation in treatment protocols, and the expense of drugs and new therapies create burdensome cost drains. I have been proud to be part of our health care community and to call many of these health care leaders my friend.
As a final note, I must say that the excitement my wife Genie and I hold for retirement is tempered when we think about saying goodbye to a 35-year career which was highlighted by our relationships at Elliot. I would encourage every community to periodically pause and think about the benefit their hospital represents and to consider the actions which can be taken to fortify their future. I can assure that Manchester is fortunate to have The Elliot, and I will never be able to adequately express my appreciation for the impact Elliot has had on me to become a better more caring person by following the example set for me by my colleagues there.
Doug Dean is retiring as president and CEO of Elliot Health System.

250. Schlechtriem, supra note 239, at 214. Although it eventually held that a case for culpa in contrahendo did not arise on the facts, a German court was effectively prepared to apply the domestic law on this issue after concluding that a CISG contract had failed to arise on the basis of the various negotiations. Oberlandesgericht [OLG] [Provincial Court of Appeal], Frankfurt am Main, Mar. 4, 1994, 10 U 80/93 (F.R.G.). The court did not consider Schlechtriem's commentary on this particular point. Elsewhere, Schlechtriem offers a more interesting analysis. See Schlechtriem, supra note 6, at 472 (suggesting the possibility that an allowable revocation pursuant to Article 16(1) might not attract liability under domestic law in any event, since it is not "wrongful" under the CISG). In cases of fraud, Schlechtriem allows recourse to domestic law on the basis that fraud is outside the CISG's scope. Id. Schlechtriem, however, excludes tort or delict remedies once an offer has been made. Id. at 213-14; Workshop , supra note 127, at 475
251. Schlechtriem, supra note 224, at 74-75 .
252. Id. at 81.
253. While maintaining his opposition to precontractual liability within the CISG, Schlechtriem observes that careful development of precontractual liability pursuant to Article 7(2) could improve uniformity. See supra note 247. More ambivalently, Honnold canvasses the possibility of CISG liability for reliance on wrongfully revoked offers. See supra notes 230-231 and accompanying text.
254.

The largely flat surface of the Pampas is composed of thick deposits of loess interrupted only by occasional caps of alluvium and volcanic ash. In the southern Pampas the landscape rises gradually to meet the foothills of sierras formed from old sediments and crystalline rocks.
This region consists of an Andean zone (also called Western Patagonia) and the main Patagonian plateau south of the Pampas, which extends to the tip of South America. The surface of Patagonia descends east of the Andes in a series of broad, flat steps extending to the Atlantic coast. Evidently, the region's gigantic landforms and coastal terraces were created by the same tectonic forces that formed the Andes, and the coastline is cuffed along its entire length as a result. The cliffs are rather low in the north but rise in the south, where they reach heights of more than 150 feet (45 metres). The landscape is cut by eastward-flowing rivers—some of them of glacial origin in the Andes—that have created both broad valleys and steep-walled canyons.
Patagonia includes a region called the Lake District , which is nestled within a series of basins between the Patagonian Andes and the plateau. There are volcanic hills in the central plateau west of the city of Río Gallegos . These hills and the accompanying lava fields have dark soils spotted with lighter-coloured bunchgrass, which creates a leopard-skin effect that intensifies the desolate, windswept appearance of the Patagonian landscape. A peculiar type of rounded gravel called grava patagónica lies on level landforms, including isolated mesas. Glacial ice in the past extended beyond the Andes only in the extreme south, where there are now large moraines.
The largest river basin in the area is that of the Paraguay–Paraná– Río de la Plata system. It drains an area of some 1.2 million square miles (3.2 million square km), which includes northern Argentina, the whole of Paraguay, eastern Bolivia, most of Uruguay, and a large part of Brazil. In Argentina the principal river of this system is the Paraná, formed by the confluence of the Paraguay and Alto Paraná rivers. The Río de la Plata (often called the River Plate) is actually the estuary outlet of the system formed by the confluence of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers; its name, meaning "River of Silver," was coined in colonial times before explorers found that there was neither a single river nor silver upstream from its mouth. Other tributaries of this system are the Iguazú ( Iguaçu ), Pilcomayo, Bermejo, Salado, and Carcarañá. Just above its confluence with the Alto Paraná, the Iguazú River plunges over the escarpment of the Brazilian massif, creating Iguazú Falls —one of the world's most spectacular natural attractions.

I live on the Central Coast of California, nestled between San Francisco (125 miles to the north) and one of my favorite cities-- Santa Barbara--(230 miles to the south).
So, what's my point? I'm glad you asked! I'm very stubborn about letting go of summer recipes. During my morning commute, I'm already seeing strawberry fields being plowed under, and early sightings of orange pumpkins, reminding me that the seasonal harvests are changing. No! I'm not ready! I need to race to my local farm stand to buy more strawberries. Now!
...until I read Vanilla Sugar's post on her Sweet Potato Hash. I had three sweet potatoes waiting to become something savory. I had just posted a recipe for making Perfect Crispy Potatoes so Dawn's Sweet Potato Hash recipe screamed out to me for breakfast. Honestly, I leaped out of my chair and made this recipe for breakfast. The ingredients were simple, and readily available-- onion, cut-up sweet potatoes, olive oil, a pat of butter, kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.
In a separate skillet, I began to caramelize half of a very large onion, and began peeling and chopping two sweet potaotes (3 seemed like too many for the two of us). In another oven-proof skillet, I began to saute' the sweet potatoes with a little olive oil, salt & pepper.
Using the same skillet, I quickly fried an egg. Sunny-side up looked pretty on Dawn's photos, but we prefer over-easy. I snipped fresh chives, with scissors...
You could certainly use any kind of potato for this dish-- I might add bacon, or even try a little balsamic vinegar, instead of Worcestshire sauce.
Thanks, Dawn @ Vanilla Sugar, this one is a keeper! This is for you:
Enjoy the last remnants of Summer,

Jose Mourinho has admitted he will miss his duels with Sir Alex Ferguson after the Scot announced his decision to retire from the game at the end of the season.
The Manchester United boss will call time on his managerial career after his final game against West Brom on Sunday, bringing to an end a 26-year career in charge at Old Trafford.
Mourinho, expected to return to the Premier League in the summer - proved to be one of his toughest opponents after he became Chelsea boss in 2004.
The Real Madrid coach admitted he will miss locking horns with Ferguson when his next side, whoever that may be, line up against Manchester United.
"We will all miss him and for me it will be difficult to go to Old Trafford, especially for the first time, to play against Manchester United without such a figure in the opposite dugout," Mourinho told The Offside Rule podcast.
Asked why Ferguson will be missed so much, Mourinho said: "He is unique and probably Manchester United are a unique club because they gave the manager the conditions to do the job he did.
"Everybody knows that the beginning was not easy for him. Everybody knows that it took him three or four years to win the first piece of silverware and Man United gave him the conditions to do an incredible job. After that he was unique, absolutely unique.
"The number of trophies he won for Manchester United in English football is absolutely amazing and to manage for more than 20 years is incredible."
Mourinho first came to the attention of Ferguson when the Special One's Porto side dumped the Red Devils out of the Champions League in 2004.
The pair's last meeting came earlier this season when Mourinho got the better of his friend once more, overseeing Real Madrid's controversial win against United in the last-16 of the Champions League.
When quizzed about what his favourite meeting with Ferguson was, Mourinho replied: "If I had to choose, I would choose the first one. It was 2004. It was in fact my first match as a manager on English soil. It was Manchester United against Porto in the Champions League.
"We scored in the last minute and we went through and it was not normal for me, not normal in the culture that I knew, that the opposition manager knocked on our dressing room door after the match - which was a moment when he would be very, very disappointed - and came in to congratulate me and invite me to go to his room for a glass of wine.
"That marked our relationship. After that we played so many times with each other and the next year I moved to England with Chelsea. After that the relationship went in that direction - it didn't matter who won and who lost. The respect was always there."

The attackers burst into a house the Spaniards had rented on the outskirts of Acapulco, in a low-key beachside area, and held 12 Spanish men and women and one Mexican woman at gunpoint before dawn on Monday.
They tied up the six men with phone cords and bathing suit straps and then raped the six Spanish women, said Acapulco Mayor Luis Walton at a press conference later Monday.
"This is a regrettable situation, and of course it is going to damage Acapulco," said Walton. The once-glittering resort that attracted movie stars and celebrities in the 1950s and 60s has already been battered by years of drug gang killings and extortions, but except for a very few incidents, the violence largely has not touched tourists.
Walton said he believed, but wasn't sure, that the assailants in Monday's attack didn't belong to a drug gang.
"From what the attorney general has told me, I don't think this was organized crime, but that will have to be investigated, we don't know," Walton said.
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department issued a statement saying it regretted the attack, and suggesting it was not drug-cartel related.
"This is a common crime, and thus up to now, the investigations are being carried out by local authorities and they will be the ones to provide information," the statement said.
In Mexico, federal authorities investigate drug-related crimes.
Security and drug analyst Jorge Chabat said that, after years of drug gang activity in Acapulco, the distinction may be merely semantic.
"At this point, the line between common and organized crime is very tenuous, there are a lot of these gangs that take advantage of the unsafe situation that currently exists, they know the government can't keep up," Chabat said. "Everything points to this being organized crime, because several gangs have operated there for years ... it's probably not the big cartels, but there are smaller groups that carry out crimes on a permanent basis."
The Spanish Embassy in Mexico City said the victims were receiving consular assistance.
The attackers gained access to the house because two of the Spaniards were in the yard and apparently were forced to open the door, Walton said. The house is on a more isolated stretch of beach east of the city.
The victims were "psychologically affected" by the attack and received treatment, the mayor said. The lone Mexican woman in the group was not raped.
Guerrero state Attorney General Martha Garzon Guzman said witness descriptions of the attackers were more difficult to obtain because they wore masks.
Spain's Foreign Ministry had already issued a travelers advisory on its website for Acapulco before the Monday attack, listing the resort as one of Mexico's "risk zone," though not the worst.
"In Acapulco, organized crime gangs have carried out violence, though up to now that has not affected tourists or the areas they visit," the advisory states. "At any rate, heightened caution is advised."
The attack came just three days after a pair of Mexican tourists returning from a beach east of Acapulco were shot at and slightly wounded by members of a masked rural self-defense squad that has set up roadblocks in areas north of Acapulco, to defend their communities against drug gang violence.
The vigilantes say the Mexican tourists failed to stop at their improvised roadblock.
Walton said the city was already contemplating ways to revive the city's image.
"We have to look at an advertising campaign to say that not everything in Acapulco is like that," Walton said. "This happens everywhere in the world, not just in Acapulco or in Mexico."
Associated Press writer Bertha Ramos reported from Acapulco, and Mark Stevenson reported from Mexico City.

Throughout the warmer months, heat pumps act like an air conditioner, capturing the hot air from inside your home and moving it outside; in the cooler months, this process is reversed. Heat pumps can be very energy efficient and may produce two to three times more heat than the energy used.

Getting close, alllllmost there.....
I ran into a guy shooting this last weekend in the mountains. He was shooting a Glock 17 with an AAC suppressor. Turns out he has a business and sells firearms and suppressors.
He gave me his card
I've been convinced for a while that I wanted to get a Glock 21sf and a "can" for my first "silencer" experience. Yes, of course, because the .45 is subsonic. After meeting with this guy, and him letting me shoot his gun, I'm blown away at the potential for quiet 9mm shooting. The guy was shooting 158gr factory fmj ammo with an AAC can and Lone Wolf barrel. It was amazing, if I shot into the snow, I heard virtually nothing, if I shot into a log, then I'd hear a snap. Then switching to 115gr ammo, i'd hear a crack (of course)
At this point, I'm thinking that I'd like to just get a suppressor for MY glock 17. Then I dont have to spend so much money for a new gun, new mags, more expensive ammo, AND the suppressor. But here is my concern......
We all know that a .45 ACP fmj slug is a good defensive round. But a pencil point fmj 9mm will zip right through with minimal damage. One of my questions is, are there 9mm rounds that are heavy enough to be subsonic which are also expansive enough to transfer energy into the target? I would think for general range use, I'd probably pick up a bunch of 158 gr fmj ammo to enjoy absolute quiet, and if I wanted to go cheaper and was ok with some extra noise, I'd use regular 115gr fmj. But for defence I would want to have sub sonic ammo AND a hollow point of some sort.
I could use some advice on all that.
Also, I've read some about reliability with different barrels, suppressors and ammo. My last question is.... Can I buy an AAC can, Lone wolf barrel, put them with my Glock 17, and expect it to be as reliable as it's always been? If not, why? And what would I need to concern myself with to get optimum reliability?
Thank a ton to anyone who can help. Right now I'm very close to investing in a suppressor for my enjoyment, and for the reduction of noise polution And I'd greatly appreciate anyone's opinions or advice

Gold Dot 147gr is subsonic in my Glock. From what I've read, it seems to do pretty well in self defense applications.
In order to "get your glock to run right" with subsonics and a suppressor, it shouldn't be too terribly hard to do. You'll want to wait and pass judgement AFTER you have a few rounds through the suppressor, as to break in the "booster" device. FTE's and Stovepipes are the usual complaint for a new suppressor. Once the booster is worn in, you'll find its pretty reliable.
I got a non captured guide rod and a few different weight recoil springs because I play with handloads a lot. I don't think that will be necessary with factory loads.

A booster also known as a linear decoupler or a Neilson device is a part added to most hand gun suppressors so the gun will still function with the added weight of the suppressor on the end of the barrel.
The booster is a piston that uses some of the gas from the fired round to basically push the suppressor away from the gun as it is fired and at the same time pushes back on the barrel so it can unlock and the gun can cycle.
It is late and I'm tired so look here for more explanation... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_booster
The boosters are the bits with the springs around them to the right of the suppressor cans in this picture. Each company makes them a little different but they all do pretty much the same thing.
